Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Behälter aus Kunststoff gemĂ¤ĂŸ dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a container made of plastic according to the preamble of claim 1.
Es gibt Behälter verschiedenster Art, wie Flaschen oder Tuben, bspw. zur Aufnahme von SpĂ¼lmittel, Reinigungsmittel, Duschgel, Shampoo oder dergleichen, die an den unterschiedlichsten Stellen zum Gebrauch bereit stehen, wie beispielsweise im Haushalt, in der KĂ¼che und im Bad oder auf Reisen im Hotel oder auch im Wohnwagen.There are containers of various kinds, such as bottles or tubes, for example, for receiving detergent, detergent, shower gel, shampoo or the like, which are available in various places for use, such as in the home, in the kitchen and in the bathroom or while traveling in the hotel or in the caravan.
Es ist der Nachteil derartiger bekannter Behälter, dass sie bei einer verhältnismĂ¤ĂŸig groĂŸen Höhe nur Ă¼ber eine kleine Standfläche verfĂ¼gen und somit leicht umfallen können. Dies geschieht vor allem dann, wenn eine Vielzahl von Behältern auf engem Raum zusammensteht. Ein derartiger Zustand ist beispielsweise im Badezimmer gegeben, in dem Seifen- und Kosmetikflaschen auf einem Spiegelbord stehen oder in beengten Ablagen in einer Duschkabine angeordnet sind.It is the disadvantage of such known container, that they have only a small footprint at a relatively high altitude and thus can easily fall over. This happens especially when a large number of containers in a small space together. Such a condition is given, for example, in the bathroom, in which soap and cosmetics bottles are on a shelf or in cramped shelves are arranged in a shower cubicle.
Es sind bereits diverse Vorschläge bekannt geworden, Kunststoffflaschen in einer Behälterwand mit einer hinterschnittenen Haltevertiefung fĂ¼r den entsprechend hinterschnittenen Haltevorsprung am AuĂŸenscheitel eines Saugnapfes zu versehen, mit dem der Behälter an einer Wandfläche saugend befestigt werden kann (z.B.
Durch die Erfindung wird erreicht, einen mit integriertem Saugnapf versehenen Kunststoffbehälter zu schaffen, der gleicherweise gebrauchsfreundlich und verpackungsfreundlich gestaltet ist.By the invention is achieved to provide a provided with integrated suction cup plastic container, which is also designed to be easy to use and packaging friendly.
GemĂ¤ĂŸ der Erfindung ist ein Behälter aus Kunststoffmaterial mit einer Behälterwand geschaffen, an der mindestens ein Saugnapf zur Befestigung des Behälters an einer Wandfläche angebracht ist. Der in seiner Gebrauchslage Ă¼ber die AuĂŸenkontur der Behälterwand hinausragende Saugnapf weist eine konkave Innenseite auf, die von Innenflächen einer Bodenwand und eines von diesem abstehenden Saugmantels gebildet wird, der sich von der Innenfläche der Bodenwand aus in seinem Durchmesser erweitert und elastisch flachdrĂ¼ckbar ist. An der der Innenfläche abgewandten Seite der Bodenwand ist ein Haltevorsprung ausgebildet, der in einer komplementären, sacklochartigen Haltevertiefung befestigt ist, die in der Behälterwand ausgebildet ist. In der Behälterwand ist rings der Haltevertiefung eine flache Aufnahmemulde ausgebildet und der Saugmantel ist so gestaltet, dass er bis in eine Verpackungsposition flachdrĂ¼ckbar ist, in welcher der Saugmantel in der flachen Aufnahmemulde ausgebreitet ist. Die Aufnahmemulde entspricht in ihrer UmfangsgrĂ¶ĂŸe wenigstens der UmfangsgrĂ¶ĂŸe des ausgebreiteten Saugmantels und in ihrer Tiefe der Dicke des Saugmantels, und die Haltevertiefung ist von der AuĂŸenkontur der Behälterwand zurĂ¼ckgesetzt, so daĂŸ die Innenflächen der Bodenwand und des ausgebreiteten Saugmantels sich im wesentlichen bĂ¼ndig mit der AuĂŸenkontur der Behälterwand erstrecken.According to the invention, there is provided a plastic material container having a container wall to which at least one sucker for attaching the container to a wall surface is attached. The in its position of use beyond the outer contour of the container wall projecting suction cup has a concave inner side, which is formed by inner surfaces of a bottom wall and a projecting from this suction sheath, which extends from the inner surface of the bottom wall in its diameter and is resiliently flattened. On the side facing away from the inner surface of the bottom wall, a holding projection is formed, which is fixed in a complementary, blind hole-like holding recess which is formed in the container wall. In the container wall, a flat receiving trough is formed around the holding recess and the suction jacket is designed so that it can be flattened into a packaging position in which the suction sheath is spread in the flat receiving trough. The receiving trough corresponds in its peripheral size at least the circumferential size of the spread suction jacket and in depth of the thickness of the suction jacket, and the retaining recess is set back from the outer contour of the container wall, so that the inner surfaces of the bottom wall and the spread suction jacket is substantially flush with the outer contour of the Container wall extend.
Durch die Erfindung kann daher der Saugmantel elastisch soweit in die flache Aufnahmemulde in der Behälterwand hinein ausgebreitet werden, dass er mit seinem Umfangsrand in dem Umfangsbereich der Aufnahmemulde zu liegen kommt. Da auĂŸerdem die Haltevertiefung, in welcher der Haltevorsprung am AuĂŸenscheitel des Saugnapfes eingreift, im Abstand von der AuĂŸenkontur der Behälterwand am Boden der Aufnahmemulde ausgebildet ist, greift auch die Bodenwand des Saugnapfes in die Aufnahmemulde ein, so dass die Innenfläche des Saugnapfes bei in die Aufnahmevertiefung ausgebreitetem Saugmantel ein im wesentlichen bĂ¼ndige Fortsetzung der AuĂŸenkontur der Behälterwand im Bereich der Aufnahmemulde bildet und nicht Ă¼ber die AuĂŸenkontur vorsteht.By means of the invention, therefore, the suction jacket can be spread elastically into the shallow receiving recess in the container wall so far that it comes to lie with its peripheral edge in the peripheral region of the receiving recess. In addition, since the holding recess, in which engages the retaining projection on the outer apex of the suction cup, at a distance from the outer contour of the container wall at the bottom of the receiving trough, engages the bottom wall of the suction cup in the receiving trough, so that the inner surface of the suction cup in the receiving recess Spreading Saugmantel forms a substantially flush continuation of the outer contour of the container wall in the region of the receiving trough and does not project beyond the outer contour.
Im ausgebreiteten Zustand des Saugmantels werden daher die Kontur und das Design des zumeist flaschenförmigen Kunststoffbehälters nicht unterbrochen. AuĂŸerdem können mehrere Behälter versandfertig aneinandergestapelt werden, ohne dass der Saugnapf dabei stört oder die Verpackungseinheit vergrĂ¶ĂŸert. Gleichwohl steht der Saugnapf beim Verbraucher unmittelbar gebrauchsfertig zur VerfĂ¼gung, ohne dass der Saugnapf gesondert geliefert und erst nachträglich in die Haltevertiefung eingeknöpft werden muĂŸ.In the expanded state of the suction jacket, therefore, the contour and the design of the mostly bottle-shaped plastic container are not interrupted. In addition, several containers can be stacked ready to ship without the suction cup interfering with or enlarging the packaging unit. Nevertheless, the suction cup is the consumer immediately ready for use available without the suction cup supplied separately and must be buttoned into the retaining recess later.
Der erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸe Behälter, beispielsweise eine Flasche oder eine Tube oder dergleichen, kann an jede glatte Fläche, beispielsweise den Wandfliesen einer Duschkabine, in beliebiger Position griffbereit angebracht werden. Dies hat wie bei den bekannten Behältern mit integriertem Saugnapf den Vorteil, dass der Behälter weder umfallen noch zu Boden fallen kann, sondern fest an seiner zugriffsgĂ¼nstigen Stelle gehalten ist. ErfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸe Behälter werden vorzugsweise im Kunststoffspritzverfahren oder im Blasverfahren hergestellt.The container according to the invention, for example a bottle or a tube or the like, can be attached to any smooth surface, for example the wall tiles of a shower cubicle, in any desired position. This has the advantage, as in the known containers with integrated suction cup, that the container can neither fall over nor fall to the floor, but is firmly held at its accessible position. Containers according to the invention are preferably manufactured by plastic injection molding or by blow molding.
Wenn ein erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸer Behälter mit mehreren Saugnäpfen ausgestattet ist, können die Saugnäpfe in einer gemeinsamen Aufnahmemulde angeordnet sein. Vorgezogen wird jedoch, fĂ¼r jeden der Saugnäpfe eine gesonderte erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸe Aufnahmemulde rings der jeweiligen Haltevertiefung fĂ¼r den Haltevorsprung des Saugnapfes vorzusehen.If a container according to the invention is equipped with a plurality of suction cups, the suction cups can be arranged in a common receiving trough. However, it is preferred to provide a separate receiving recess according to the invention for each of the suction cups around the respective holding recess for the holding projection of the suction cup.
Wenngleich die Innenfläche des Saugmantels entlang dessen Mantellinien leicht konkav gekrĂ¼mmt sein kann, wird es bevorzugt, die Innenfläche und im Ă¼brigen auch die AuĂŸenfläche des Saugmantels kegelförmig mit geraden Mantellinien verlaufen zu lassen. Die kreisförmige Innenfläche der Bodenwand des Saugnapfes ist vorzugsweise eben.Although the inner surface of the suction jacket may be slightly concave curved along its generatrices, it is preferred that the inner surface and otherwise the outer surface of the suction jacket to extend conically with straight generatrices. The circular inner surface of the bottom wall of the suction cup is preferably flat.
Wenngleich ferner die Wanddicke des Saugmantels Ă¼ber dessen gesamte Ausdehnung hin konstant sein kann, nimmt die Wanddicke vorzugsweise vom an die Bodenwand des Saugnapfes angrenzenden FuĂŸ des Saugnapfes bis zu dessen Umfangsrand gleichmĂ¤ĂŸig ab.Furthermore, although the wall thickness of the suction jacket may be constant over its entire extent, the wall thickness preferably decreases evenly from the foot of the suction cup adjacent to the bottom wall of the suction cup to the peripheral edge thereof.
Ferner wird aus FertigungsgrĂ¼nden die Haltevertiefung in der Behälterwand bevorzugt hinterschneidungsfrei gestaltet, so dass die gesamte Ausnehmung in der Behälterwand aus Aufnahmemulde und Haltevertiefung hinterschneidungsfrei geformt werden kann. Der Saugnapf kann bei einer solchen hinterscheidungsfreien Gestaltung der Haltevertiefung ebenfalls hinterschneidungsfrei gestaltet und in die Haltevertiefung eingeklebt werden. Hierbei kann die Haltevertiefung sehr flach gestaltet sein, so dass sie im wesentlichen fĂ¼r die Anbringung des Saugnapfes zentrierend zu wirken und ein Abscheren der Klebverbindung zu verhindern braucht.Furthermore, the retaining recess in the container wall is preferably designed without undercuts for manufacturing reasons, so that the entire recess can be formed without undercuts in the container wall of receiving trough and holding recess. The suction cup can also be designed without undercuts and glued into the retaining recess in such a non-distinctive design of the retaining recess. Here, the holding recess may be designed very flat, so that they are centering for the attachment of the suction cup substantially act and prevent a shearing of the adhesive bond needs.
Der erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸe, aus Weichgummi oder Weichkunststoff hergestellte Saugnapf wird in seiner ausgebreiteten Verpackungsposition vorzugsweise von einer Abdeckfolie gehalten. Die Abdeckfolie kann hierbei den gesamten Behälter oder auch mehrere zusammengestapelte erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸe Behälter umhĂ¼llen. Es ist jedoch auch möglich, die Abdeckfolie als Klebeetikett zu gestalten, das auf den ausgebreiteten Saugnapf und den die Aufnahmemulde umgebenden Bereich der Behälterwand aufgeklebt ist und beispielsweise einen Balkenkode oder sonstige Beschriftung aufweisen kann.The suction cup according to the invention, made of soft rubber or soft plastic is preferably held in its expanded packaging position by a cover sheet. The cover film can in this case envelop the entire container or even several containers stacked together according to the invention. However, it is also possible to make the cover as an adhesive label, which is glued to the spread suction cup and the receiving trough surrounding area of the container wall and may have, for example, a bar code or other labeling.
Ein gemĂ¤ĂŸ der Erfindung gestalteter Behälter eignet sich auch hervorragend fĂ¼r den Gebrauch auf Reisen, weil auch hierzu der Saugnapf mit einer Ă¼blichen Klebefolie oder einem Ă¼blichen Klebeband in seinem ausgebreiteten Zustand gehalten werden kann. Auf diese Weise kann der Behälter, beispielsweise eine Duschgelflasche, bequem auf Reisen mitgenommen werden und steht dann am Reiseort nach Ablösen der Klebefolie wieder fĂ¼r das Anheften einer glatten Wandfläche gebrauchsfertig zur VerfĂ¼gung, ohne dass hierzu gesonderte Saugnäpfe mitgefĂ¼hrt zu werden brauchen.A container designed according to the invention is also excellently suited for travel use, because for this purpose too, the suction cup can be held in its spread state with a conventional adhesive film or a conventional adhesive tape. In this way, the container, such as a shower gel bottle, can be easily taken on trips and is ready to use at the travel location after detachment of the adhesive film for pinning a smooth wall surface available without the need for separate suction cups need to be carried.

Derartige Behälter haben erfahrungsgemĂ¤ĂŸ einen kleinflächigen Boden 11 als Standfläche und verfĂ¼gen deshalb Ă¼ber keine stabile Standfestigkeit, sondern neigen leicht zum Umfallen und Herunterfallen.Such containers have experience, a small-scale bottom 11 as a base and therefore have no stable stability, but are prone to falling over and falling down.
Diese Nachteile werden durch den erfindungsgemĂ¤ĂŸen Behälter 10 behoben. Zu diesem Zweck sind in einer Wand des Behälters 10, beim AusfĂ¼hrungsbeispiel in der Frontwand 12, zwei Ă¼bereinander angeordnete Halteelemente in Form von Saugnäpfen 13 vorgesehen. Die Anzahl der Saugnäpfe 13 an der Behälterwand 12 kann variieren und wird in Abhängigkeit von der GrĂ¶ĂŸe und dem Gewicht des Behälters gewählt. Im einfachsten Fall ist lediglich ein Saugnapf in die Behälterwand integriert.These disadvantages are eliminated by the
Der in der Behälterwand 12 untergebrachte und gehaltene Saugnapf ist aus einem weichelastischen Material hergestellt. In die Behälterwand 12 ist eine Ausnehmung 17 eingeformt, die eine Haltevertiefung 15 und eine konzentrisch zu derselben und rings derselben liegende Aufnahmemulde 18 aufweist. In der Haltevertiefung 15 ist ein Haltevorsprung 16 des Saugnapfes 14 gehalten, beispielsweise durch eine Klebung oder in dem die Seitenwände der Vertiefung 15 eine Hinterschneidung aufweisen, die der Haltevorsprung 16 hintergreift. In der Aufnahmemulde 18 ist im Nichtbefestigungszustand des Behälters 10 der Saugmantel 19 des Saugnapfes 14 untergebracht.The suction cup accommodated and held in the
Damit der Saugmantel 19 im Nichtbefestigungszustand des Behälters nicht Ă¼ber die Behälterwand 12 hinausragt, sondern bĂ¼ndig mit der AuĂŸenfläche der Behälterwand 12 abschlieĂŸt, ist eine abziehbare Abdeckfolie 20 Ă¼ber den Bereich der Aufnahmemulde 18 und den Saugnapf 13 auf die AuĂŸenfläche der Behälterwand 12 aufgeklebt.So that the
Diese MaĂŸnahme erleichtert das Verpacken und den Transport sowie den Verkauf des Behälters 10.This measure facilitates the packaging and transport as well as the sale of the
Nach dem Abziehen der Abdeckfolie 20 von der Behälterwand 12, wobei zum leichteren Abziehen der Abdeckfolie 20 an derselben eine nicht an der Behälterwand 12 angeklebte Grifflasche 21 vorgesehen ist, richten sich die Saugmäntel 19 auf und Ă¼berragen nun die Behälterwand 12. In dieser Lage kann der Behälter 20 durch AndrĂ¼cken an eine Wandfläche in sicherer Lage befestigt werden. Ein Umfallen oder Herunterfallen von seinem Standplatz ist fĂ¼r den Behälter nun nicht mehr möglich.After peeling off the covering
Andererseits kann der Behälter 10 leicht von der Wandfläche abgenommen werden, um bspw. auf eine Reise mitgenommen zu werden. Zu diesem Zweck können die Saugnäpfe 13 durch erneutes Aufkleben der Abdeckfolie 20 oder eines anderen Klebestreifens wieder in ihre Ausnehmung 17 zurĂ¼ckgedrĂ¼ckt und gehalten werden. Zur Aufbewahrung und Bereithaltung kann die Abdeckfolie während des Befestigungszustandes auf der RĂ¼ckwand 22 des Behälters 10 aufgeklebt werden, wie dies in

Die Aufnahmemulde 18 rings der Haltevertiefung 15 in der Behälterwand 12 ist in Anpassung an die Dicke des Saugmantels 19 flach ausgebildet und hat eine GrĂ¶ĂŸe, die wenigstens der GrĂ¶ĂŸe des Saugmantels 19 entspricht, wenn dieser bis in die Aufnahmemulde hinein flachgedrĂ¼ckt ist, was jeweils aus der Einzelheit A ersichtlich ist. Da die Haltevertiefung 15 etwa um die Dicke der Bodenwand 32 des Saugnapfes gegenĂ¼ber der Kontur 34 der Behälterwand zurĂ¼ckgesetzt ist, liegt auch die Bodenwand 32 in der Aufnahmemulde 18 versenkt. Wenn die Kontur 34 der Behälterwand 12 entlang einer Ebene verläuft, ist der Saugmantel 19 in der Verpackungsposition soweit in die Aufnahmemulde hinein ausgebreitet, daĂŸ die Innenseiten 30, 33 von Saugmantel 19 und Bodenwand 32 ebenfalls in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen, die mit der Ebene der Kontur 34 der Behälterwand 12 im wesentlichen Ă¼bereinstimmt.The receiving
Die Erfindung kann auch angewendet werden, wenn die AuĂŸenfläche der Behälterwand 12 leicht konvex gekrĂ¼mmt verläuft. In einem solchen Fall kann der Saugmantel 19 soweit ausgebreitet werden, daĂŸ er entlang seiner Innenseite in allen Radialschnitten des Saugnapfes mit der jeweiligen Konturlinie der Behälterwand Ă¼bereinstimmt und daher im Beispiel entsprechend der AuĂŸenfläche gekrĂ¼mmt verläuft.The invention can also be applied when the outer surface of the

Insbesondere steht die Bodenwand 32 des Saugnapfes mit ihrer der Innenseite 33 abgewandten Seite Ă¼ber den an die Bodenwand angrenzenden ringförmigen FuĂŸ 35 des Saugmantels 19 hinaus und bildet mit ihrem hinausstehend Querschnittsabschnitt den Haltevorsprung 16. Die Höhe des Haltevorsprungs 16 und entsprechend die Tiefe der Haltevertiefung 15 können hierbei weniger als die Hälfte der Dicke der Bodenwand betragen, wobei die Höhe des Haltevorsprungs geringfĂ¼gig grĂ¶ĂŸer als die Tiefe der Haltevertiefung sein kann.In addition, in these embodiments, the retaining projection and accordingly the retaining recess are formed relatively flat.
